Western v.s Eastern Mentality
One thing that I have suffered from living in the Western world is those older generations who refuse to accept the fact that we have changed. That our mentality and life in the western world have changed. We are different now. Why can’t people mesh in with the society that they live in and accept it? Why us Arab girls and guys who live in the Western world have to always live on the edge? Why is it that the older generation of Middle Easterns and others who live in the Eastern world have a very negative view point of us Middle Easterns that live here?
What do you think? I am curious to see both mentalities point of view of how they perceive one another. I can never understand the Eastern mentality anymore. I lived far too long and completely forgot how it is to remember or understand it. So why is it that the Eastern classify us as too liberal and slutty with no morals? I don’t get it? I had this site for two years, and I seldom get any negative comments from people living in my region. USA, Canada, and South America. Yet, all the negative comments are from one source, the middle east. Why is that? Am I too outspoken for you? Am I totally different that it shocks you to the point of directly insulting me and calling me horrible names? It is not my fault that I live here, and frankly, I am glad I live here and not have to be classified with such mentality. The world is such a global village right now that it mystifies me how the mentalities of some people are so backwards till now. It has nothing to do with morals or ethics. It has to do with acceptance and slowly changing one’s mentality in order to survive and become like the rest of the world.
Honestly, I thought I suffer from severe depression and very sick all the time and I only resort to anger and writing it out only in my blog, but no. I was wrong. I am too normal and too nice. I really have been living in denial and not accepting others. My problem is that I am way too nice and I accept people and not care what they do. It is everyone else that seems to be messed up and I am the normal one.
Yes, I am normal! I am rebelling against you! That’s exactly what I have been suffering with all these years. YOU!
